IMPORTANT VALUES OF MAXIMUM SLANDERNESS RATIO, STRENGTH OF AXIAL COMPRESSION MEMBER AND MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE STRESS REQUIERD AT THE TIME OF DESIGN OF COMPRESSION MEMBER

Maximum slenderness ratio for compression members

The slenderness ration should not exceed the values given in below table

Sr.no	Types of member	Maximum slenderness ratio
1	A member carrying compressive load from dead load and super imposed load.	180
2	A member normally carrying tension but subjected to reversal of stress due to earthquake or wind forces.	350

 strength of axial compression member 

 the strength of axial compression member is given by the below formula 

maximum permissible stress in axial compression

its is one of the main formulas to remember at the time of designing the compression member.

the maximum permissible stress in axial compression is depends on the slenderness ratio and yield stress of the steel . every expressions are discussed further in detail.

note : these are the main and important formulas to remember at the time of designing the axial compression member for a structure
